1 Purpose
This bulletin has been prepared by
the Western Australian Planning
Commission (WAPC) to assist users
of the planning system in
understanding the development
approval process for public works
throughout the state and when a
body must obtain WAPC approval to
undertake development under a
region planning scheme.
The purpose of this bulletin is to
clarify:
•
which bodies are entitled to the
public works exemption under
section 6 of the Planning and
Development Act 2005 (PD
Act);
•
which bodies are a “public
authority” under section 4 of
the PD Act;
•
the distinction between the
terms “public authority” and
“section 6 body”;
•
when a “public authority” is
exempt from the requirement to
seek development approval
under the Metropolitan Region
Scheme (MRS), the Peel
Region Scheme (PRS) and the
Greater Bunbury Region
Scheme (GBRS); and
•
the distinction between public
authorities and local
authorities.
This bulletin supersedes
Planning Bulletin 53 Development
by Public Authorities on Land
Reserved Under the Metropolitan
Region Scheme.
The term “public authority” was used
throughout planning bulletin 53 to
describe the qualified public works
exemption in section 32 of the Town
Planning and Development Act 1928
(now section 6 of the PD Act) and to
also describe the development
control provisions that apply to public
authorities under the MRS. These
are two different types of
exemptions, and the application of
the term “public authority” to both
situations has led to confusion about
when each one applies. This bulletin
uses the terms ‘section 6 body’ and
‘public authority’ to differentiate
between the two types of
exemptions that can be claimed
when undertaking a public work.
2 What is development?
3 When does the public works
exemption apply under
section 6 of the PD Act?
Section 6 of the PD Act states:
"nothing in this Act interferes with the
right of the Crown, or the Governor,
or the Government of the state, or a
local government -
The term "development" is defined
under the PD Act as meaning:
(a) to undertake, construct or
provide any public work; and
"the development or use of any land,
including -
(b) to take land for the purposes of
that public work."
(a) any demolition, erection,
construction, alteration of or
addition to any building or
structure on the land;
(b) the carrying out on the land of
any excavation or other works;
(c) in the case of a place to which
a conservation order made
under section 59 of the
Heritage of Western Australia
Act 1990
(i) is likely to change the
character of that place or
the external appearance of
any building; or
(ii) would constitute an
irreversible alteration of the
fabric of any building."
The definition of development is
intentionally broad, and in many
circumstances it may be unclear
whether work on or use of the land
will constitute development. The
State Administrative Tribunal and the
Supreme Court have provided some
guidance on what constitutes
development.
Generally, development requires
approval under an applicable local
and/or region planning scheme.
However, planning schemes contain
exemptions from this general
requirement for development
approval for public works in some
circumstances
In general terms, this section gives
the bodies referred to in section 6,
“section 6 bodies”, the power to
undertake a public work or take land
for the purposes of a public work
without obtaining development
approval from the responsible
authority under the relevant planning
scheme.
The term "public work" is defined
under section 4 of the PD Act as
including any public work as defined
in the Public Works Act 1902. The
Public Works Act 1902 defines what
constitutes a public work under
section 2 (appendix 1). Readers are
advised to refer to the full text of the
Public Works Act 1902 available on
the State Law Publisher's website.
If a private corporation undertakes a
public work as part of a joint venture
or private-public sector partnership
with a government department, they
are deemed to be undertaking that
work on behalf of that body. As such,
the section 6 exemption that the
government department would be
entitled to if it was undertaking the
public work can be claimed by that
private corporation.
Public works under a local
planning scheme
Section 6 has the effect of
exempting section 6 bodies from the
requirement to obtain development
approval for a public work under a
local planning scheme. Despite this
exemption, section 6 bodies are still
Planning bulletin 94:Planning bulletin 90 - Prostitution Amendment Act 2008
required to comply with the
requirements of section 6(2) and (3),
namely:
•
to have regard to the purpose
and intent of the local planning
scheme;
•
to have regard to the principles
of proper and orderly planning
and the amenity of the area;
and
•
to consult with the local
government when a proposal is
being formulated for any public
work, or the taking of land for a
public work
If a section 6 body undertakes a
public work without consulting with
the relevant local government under
section 6(3), then it has breached
the requirements of the PD Act.
Public works under a region
planning scheme
Section 5(2) states that a region
planning scheme binds the Crown
(ie all section 6 bodies except local
government). This means that the
exemption provided by section 6
does not extend to the requirements
of a region planning scheme. As
such, section 6 bodies may be
required to apply for approval to
commence development, including
public works, under a relevant region
planning scheme.
If a section 6 body is exempt from
requirements of the local planning
scheme, but is required to make an
application to the WAPC for
development approval under the
region planning scheme, then the
section 6 body must provide the
WAPC with evidence that the section
6 body has consulted with the local
government as required under
section 6(2) and (3) of the PD Act.
Public works undertaken by local
governments
While local governments are stated
in section 6(1) as bodies that are
entitled to section 6 exemptions,
they are not part of the Crown (under
the Local Government Act 1995).
Therefore, section 5(2) does not
apply to local governments. This
means that a region planning
scheme does not bind a local
government. So a local government
is entitled to the section 6 public
works exemption in respect of both
local and region planning schemes
(provided of course that the work
falls within the definition of a public
work).
Despite the exemption from the
requirements of a region planning
scheme, the local government is still
required to comply with section 6(2)
and (3). So the local government is
required to:
•
have regard to the purpose and
intent of the region planning
scheme;
•
have regard to the orderly and
proper planning and the
preservation of the amenity of
that locality; and
•
consult the WAPC to ensure
that the public work will comply
with subsection (2).
The section 6 exemption and
statutory corporations
A statutory corporation should
generally be regarded as being
distinct from the Crown unless the
legislation that gives power to that
corporation expressly states that it is
an agent of the Crown or that it has
the status, immunities and privileges
of the Crown. In such a
circumstance, the corporation shall
be deemed to be a section 6 body
entitled to an exemption under a
local planning scheme, but still
bound by the requirements of a
relevant region planning scheme
(appendix 2).
There are certain statutory
exceptions to this general position,
where section 6 is specifically
applied to a body that is no longer an
agent of the Crown.
(a) Port authorities
Section 5 of the Port Authorities Act
1999 provides that a port authority is
not an agent of the Crown and does
not have the status, immunities and
privileges of the Crown. However,
section 38 states that for the
purposes of port works and port
facilities, section 6 of the PD Act
applies to a port authority as if it
were an agency of the Crown in right
of the state. It further states that port
works and port facilities are to be
regarded as being public works for
the purposes of section 6.
As such, port authorities are deemed
to be section 6 bodies. They do not
need to seek development approval
under a local planning scheme, but
they are still bound by the
requirements of relevant region
planning schemes.

(b) Energy corporations
Section 5 of the Energy
Corporations Act 2005 provides that
an energy corporation is not an
agent of the state and does not have
the status, immunities and privileges
of the state. However, section 60 of
that Act states that the Electricity
Networks Corporation (Western
Power) and the Regional Power
Corporation are not required to
comply with the provisions of an
interim development order or a local
planning scheme when undertaking
works for the extension, expansion
or enhancement of an electricity
distribution or transmission system.
Therefore, the Electricity Networks
Corporation (Western Power) and
the Regional Power Corporation are
deemed to be section 6 bodies
undertaking a public work when
undertaking works for the extension,
expansion or enhancement of an
electricity distribution or transmission
system. They are exempt from the
requirements of a local planning
scheme, but are still required to
comply with the requirements of a
region planning scheme.
4 Which bodies are “public
authorities”?
The term “public authority” is used
throughout the three region planning
schemes and all local planning
schemes. It is defined in section 4 of
the PD Act as meaning any of the
following:
(a) a Minister of the Crown in right
of the state;
(b) a department of the public
service, state trading concern,
state instrumentality or state
public utility; and
(c) any other person or body,
whether corporate or not, who
or which, under the authority of
any written law, administers or
carries on for the benefit of the
state, a social service or public
utility.
Any body that can demonstrate
compliance with 4(c) is deemed to
be a public authority. For example, a
corporation such as Western Power
is deemed to be a public authority for
planning and development purposes
if:
(a) it carries out work under the
Electricity Corporations Act
2005 and the Energy
Operations (Powers) Act 1979;
Planning bulletin 94:Planning bulletin 90 - Prostitution Amendment Act 2008
(b) the work is for the benefit of the
state; and
(c) the work is a public utility
(provision of electricity).
Region planning schemes do not
refer to the term "public work".
Instead, region planning schemes
contain provisions which exempt
public authorities from the general
requirement to apply for
development approval for specified
classes of development. So if a body
can demonstrate that it satisfies all
of the elements of section 4(c) of the
PD Act, then that body may be
exempt from the requirement to
obtain development approval under
the relevant region planning scheme.
If a private corporation is
undertaking development as part of
a joint venture or private-public
sector partnership with a
government department, they are
deemed to be undertaking that
development on behalf of that body.
As such, any exemption under the
relevant region scheme that would
apply to that department can also be
claimed by that private corporation.
Reserved land
Clause 16(1) of the MRS states that
development approval under the
MRS is not required if the reserved
land is owned by or vested in a
public authority and that public
authority is proposing to use the
land:
•
5 When are public authorities
exempt from the
requirement to obtain
development approval under
the MRS?
Generally, all development under the
MRS requires development
approval. However, there are some
exemptions from this general
requirement, in relation to both
reserved and zoned land.
for the purpose for which it is
reserved;
•
for any purpose for which it
was lawfully used before the
MRS came into force; or
•
for any purpose for which the
land may be lawfully used by
the public authority.
In addition, clause 16(1a) states that
development approval is not
required where a public authority is
undertaking development on
reserved land that is owned by or
vested in that public authority, where
the development is:
•
permitted development that
does not involve the clearing of
regionally significant vegetation
on a site specified as a Bush
Forever site in the Bush
Forever report published by the
WAPC in December 2000; or
•
expressly authorised under an
Act to be commenced or
carried out without the approval
of the WAPC.
Can a local government be a public
authority?
The WAPC has previously advised
that the term ‘public authority’ does
not include a local government under
the Local Government Act 1995 for
the purposes of planning and
development under the PD Act.
Local governments are entitled to
the public works exemption under
section 6 in respect of both local and
regional planning schemes, as
discussed at point 3 of this bulletin.
As such, there is no need for a local
government to attempt to claim an
exemption as a public authority.
However, local governments must
still comply with section 6(2) and
pursuant to section 6(3) the WAPC
requires evidence that the works will
comply with these provisions.
11/11/08
Permitted development includes:
•
•
works on land reserved for
primary regional roads or other
regional roads for the purposes
of or in connection with a road
within the meaning of the Main
Roads Act 1930;
works on land reserved for port
installations for the purpose of
or in connection with a port;
•
works for the purpose of or in
connection with the supply of
water, electricity or gas, or the
drainage or treatment of waste,
water or sewerage;
•
works on land reserved for
railways for the purpose of or in
connection with a railway, not
including the construction or
alteration of a railway station or
any related car parks, public
transport interchange facilities,
or associated means of
pedestrian or vehicular access;

•
works on land reserved for
parks and recreation where the
works are in accordance with a
management plan endorsed by
the WAPC;
•
works on land reserved for
public purposes – high school
for the purpose of or incidental
to a high school;
•
operational works on land
reserved for state forests for
the purpose of or incidental to a
state forest.
Zoned land
Clause 24 of the MRS provides that
development approval on land zoned
under the scheme is not required if:
•
that land is not the subject of a
notice under clause 32 of the
MRS or declaration under
section 112 of the PD Act; and
•
that development consists of:
-
the erection on a lot of a
single dwelling house which
will be the only building on
the lot, no part of which lot
is within the Swan
development control area
or abuts any part of the
Swan development control
area; or
-
the carrying out of any
works on, in, over or under
a street or road by a public
authority acting pursuant to
the provisions of any Act
If these limited circumstances do not
apply, then the public authority is
required to make an application for
development approval under the
MRS.
Determining authority
Usually an application for
development on reserved land is
determined by the WAPC. However,
the WAPC has delegated to local
governments the power to determine
applications for development on land
reserved under the MRS for the
purpose of a regional road, in its
delegation instrument gazetted on
20 September 2002 (as amended
from time to time, "MRS Delegation
Instrument").
Similarly, an application for
development by a public authority on
zoned land is usually determined by
the relevant local government under
the MRS Delegation Instrument.
However, clause 1(v) of that
Planning bulletin 94:Planning bulletin 90 - Prostitution Amendment Act 2008
instrument states that the delegation
arrangements do not extend to the
power to determine an application
"in respect of public works
undertaken by public authorities". As
such, the WAPC is the determining
authority for a development
application for development which is
categorised as a "public work",
which is to be undertaken on zoned
land by a public authority. If the work
is not a public work as defined in the
Public Works Act 1902 (appendix 1),
then the application will be
determined by the local authority
6 When are public authorities
exempt from the
requirement to obtain
development approval under
the PRS?
Development under the PRS
requires approval where land is
reserved or the development is
subject to a clause 21 resolution. On
zoned land, approval from the
WAPC is not required for
development unless a clause 21
resolution applies to the class of
development proposed.
Clause 19 of the PRS provides an
exception to the general requirement
for development approval for
specified classes of development on
reserved land. In respect of reserved
land owned by or vested in a public
authority, development that does
not require WAPC approval includes:
•
•
•
works on land reserved for
primary regional roads or other
regional roads for the purpose
of or in connection with a road
within the meaning of the Main
Roads Act 1930;
works for the purpose of, or in
connection with, the supply of
water or wastewater services,
electricity or gas, or the
drainage of surplus water or
treatment of water, wastewater
or surplus water;
works on land reserved for
railways, or for primary regional
roads or other regional roads,
for the purpose of or in
connection with a railway, but
this does not include the
construction or alteration of a
railway station or any related
carparks, public transport
interchange facilities, or
associated means of
pedestrian or vehicular access;
•
works on land reserved for
regional open space where the
works are in accordance with a
management plan endorsed by
the WAPC;
•
works on land reserved for
public purposes - high school
for the purpose of or incidental
to a high school;
•
operational works on land
reserved for state forests for
the purpose of or incidental to a
state forest;
•
development that a public
authority is expressly
authorised under an Act to
commence or carry out without
the approval of the WAPC
Clause 20 also states that approval
of the WAPC is not required for the
use of reserved land owned by or
vested in a public authority where
the land is being used for the
purpose for which it was reserved, or
for the purpose for which it was
lawfully used before the scheme
came into force.
Determining authority
In its delegation instrument gazetted
on 28 March 2003, the WAPC has
delegated to local governments the
responsibility for determining the
following under the PRS:
•
•
•
applications for planning
approval in relation to
development on land reserved
under the PRS for the purpose
of a regional road;
applications for planning
approval required pursuant to
the resolution of the WAPC
under clause 21 of the PRS
made on 25 March 2003 in
respect of development on land
abutting regional roads
reservations under the PRS;
and
applications for approval for
private jetties and associated
facilities located within an
artificial waterway within the
waterways reservation
However, the WAPC has retained its
power to determine all other
applications for development on
reserved land. This includes public
works undertaken by public
authorities, except where these have
been exempted, as described above.

7 When are public authorities
exempt from the requirement
to obtain development
approval under the GBRS?
Clause 24 of the GBRS states that
development requires approval
where land is reserved or the
development is of a kind or class
specified in a clause 27 resolution.
Approval from the WAPC is
generally not required for
development on zoned land unless a
clause 27 resolution applies to the
class of development proposed.
Clause 25 provides an exception to
the general requirement for
development approval on reserved
land. In respect of reserved land
owned by or vested in a public
authority, development that does
not require WAPC approval is the
same as under the PRS (listed bullet
points under paragraph 6 regarding
exceptions under clause 19 of the
PRS). Clause 25 of the GBRS also
exempts works on land reserved for
port installations for the purpose of
or in connection with a port.
In addition, clause 26 of the GBRS
states that approval of the WAPC is
not required for the use of reserved
land by a public authority where the
land is being used for the purpose
for which it was reserved, or for the
purpose for which it was lawfully
used before the scheme came into
force.
Determining authority
In its delegation instrument gazetted
on 25 January 2008, the WAPC has
delegated to local governments the
responsibility for determining the
following types of development on
land reserved under the GBRS:
•
applications for development
on land in a regional road
reservation;
•
applications for development of
private jetties and associated
facilities located in an artificial
waterway in a waterways
reservation.
In a clause 27 resolution gazetted on
25 January 2008, the WAPC has
specified what classes of
development on land zoned under
the GBRS requires WAPC approval.
The WAPC has delegated
responsibility for determining
applications for the following classes
of development to local
governments:
Planning bulletin 94:Planning bulletin 90 - Prostitution Amendment Act 2008
•
applications for development
on zoned land abutting a
regional open space
reservation, primary regional
roads reservation, regional
roads reservation, public
purposes reservation, railways
reservation, state forests
reservation or waterways
reservation;
•
applications for development
on zoned land in a water
catchments special control
area;
11/11/08
requirements of part XV of the Local
Government (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act entitles them to an
exemption under section 6 of the PD
Act. Conversely, entitlement to an
exemption under section 6 of the PD
Act does not necessarily entitle a
government department to an
exemption under the building
provisions of part XV of the Local
Government (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act.
Note that an exemption under
section 6 of the PD Act or a provision
of a region planning scheme does
not affect any requirement to obtain
approvals under other legislation.
•
applications for development
on zoned land adjacent to or in
close proximity to the strategic
agricultural resource policy
area;
•
applications for development
on zoned land adjacent to or in
close proximity to the strategic
minerals and basic raw
materials resource policy
areas;

•
applications for development
on land in the rural zone, other
than a poultry farm; and
applications for development of
a new poultry farm, or for any
extension or addition to an
existing poultry farm, on zoned
land.
8 Building approvals
Part XV of the Local Government
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1960
states that a person wishing to
construct or alter a building must
obtain a building licence from the
local government. However, section
373(3) provides that "buildings
owned or occupied by, or under the
control or management of the Crown
in right of the state, or a department,
agency or instrumentality of the
Crown in right of the state" are
exempt from the requirements of
part XV.
